Nearly a year after an Amish teenager vanished, Lancaster County prosecutors on Thursday announced they found her body wrapped in a tarp and buried in a grave behind the former worksite of the man charged in her death.
Prosecutors filed homicide charges against Justo Smoker, 34, last year, even without the body of Linda Stoltzfoos, 18. The discovery and new evidence found by East Lampeter Township and Pennsylvania State Police is expected to provide a huge boost for prosecutors in the criminal case.
District Attorney Heather Adams said during a news conference Thursday that the body had not yet been forensically identified as Stoltzfoos, but based on initial observations and clothing found with the body: “We strongly believe and are confident in saying the remains are of 18-year-old Linda Stoltzfoos.”
